Consider making your gift during the 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Power Hour on April 25, when the area of campus with the most individual donations will win an additional $2,000.
We ask you to support the Cape Cod Alumni Group Scholarship during UMassGives this year. This is our 29th year of giving scholarships to Cape Cod students who will be attending UMass Amherst in the fall and during that time we have given out well over $353,000.
This year we are again committed to providing scholarships to local students with multiple $3,000 scholarships and one $4,000 scholarship to be awarded. We are an all-volunteer group, so all of the money raised goes directly to scholarships.
Hear what a few previous scholarship recipients had to say:
Emily Allen ’27 wrote:
I am immensely grateful to have received a Cape Cod Alumni Scholarship because it has allowed me to attend UMass Amherst and focus on my academic and personal growth while taking some of the financial burden off of myself and my parents. I have found so many new interests and passions since arriving at UMass Amherst, and I truly feel like my college experience is helping me to grow as an individual.
Molly Cahill ’27 said:
I think college in general teaches independence, but UMass Amherst helps students learn it quickly with the large size. I would tell students to be excited about the next four years they are about to embark on, and I would recommend coming to UMass Amherst to anyone!
Gifts in any amount make a difference, as they add up quickly and inspire the generosity of others.
Join the excitement and make a difference. Be sure to share on social media. Thank you!
With your help, we can reach our goal of $15,000 and show our Cape Cod students just how strongly we support their aspirations at this difficult time. From all of us in Cape Cod, thank you.
